Ashley Tisdale's Netflix Show: From Loser Article to TV Deal

At 1:01:55 · chapter starts 1:01:35

People magazine reported that Ashley Tisdale's The Cut essay about feeling excluded from a wealthy celebrity mom group has been picked up by Netflix as a half-hour comedy described as 'a new mom who encounters a crew of rich mothers with a darker side,' with Ali Wong and writer Sabrina Jalis (Search Party, Mating Season) attached. The hosts are conflicted: the show's premise sounds genuinely compelling and they'll definitely watch, but the original article painted Tisdale as a victim in a situation where the hosts believe she was not. Claudia speculates that the Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore group chat is currently exploding with indignation. Jackie notes that Tisdale came out of the article poorly — getting significant hate — and is now somehow profiting from that. A Sharpay/High School Musical tangent follows, with Claudia making the 'hot take' that another actress could have played Sharpay just as well, which Jackie immediately endorses as 'not a hot take.' The segment ends with the hosts asking listeners not to send the episode to Ashley Tisdale because 'she's sensitive.'
